FOLDING SYSTEM

PowerBend Universal

PowerBend Universal The versatile solution for lean sheet metal forming in a wide variety of metal forming applications.

The name speaks for itself: This folding machine is designed to meet the demands in a wide range of applications. Its ﬂexibility through applications up to 4 mm steel is the result of Schröder Maschinenbau’s decades of experience in industrial metal folding.

The PowerBend Universal provides the perfect balance between technology and performance. It was engineered using state of the art tools and finite element analysis. The standard control system is designed for programming simple profiles and parts. Anyone can program with the nano Touch, making it the perfect machine for a wide array of production requirements. For increased production and efficiency without increased complexity.

Your options The PowerBend Universal offers you a lot of possibilities – you decide what level of technology ﬁts your individual requirements.

Manual clamping device: segmented tools provide ﬂexibility for a variety of geometries

The PowerBend Universal in its standard configuration is already a versatile machine. And when specific needs arise you can be confident that we support the right set of machine specific options so you can build in the right set of intelligent features and capabilities.

Fine tuning: crowning system manual or CNC crowning sytems

Even more power The “Power-Package” option offers a reinforced drive system, increasing the capacity on the PowerBend Universal to 5 mm mild steel for even more bending power. CNC folding beam adjustment, manual or CNC crowning, and speed enhancement are just a few of the options that add speciﬁc features with beneﬁts to the PowerBend Universal.

Gauge options for optimal handling The options for the PowerBend Universal are as varied as the workpieces that you can produce on it.

Display of crowning system

Gauge table, 1,600 mm, closed, with ball transfers

Schröder offers a wide range of back gauge and integrated sheet support systems. The material rests on the support table while the gauge feeds the part through the bending sequence. Select the gauge best suited for your part requirements. Starting at 1,000 mm, the back gauge is accurately positioned using high precision ball screws to an accuracy of ± 0.1 mm. Gauges with depths from 1,600 mm are divided into two or more sections with pneumatic pop-up ﬁngers to hit any dimension quickly and accurately.

Ball transfers placed throughout the sheet support system provide a frictionless surface on which the part is easily manipulated. Adding squaring arms at the operator lane provides an ergonomically convenient method of aligning parts to tooling stations, or for squaring long thin rectangular proﬁles. If you are working with the control POS 2000 Professional, two pneumatic squaring arms at the operator lane can be controlled automatically in connection with gauge extensions. Gauge depths can be extended up to 4,000 mm, and can be conﬁgured in a J or U shape. A 1,600 mm gauge table forms the basis for this option.

Tools Use the right tool for the job – Schröder understands this better than anyone. With dozens of standard geometries, and engineered customs, your parts will always hit the mark.

The optionally available hydraulic tool clamping device reduces set-up times.

Segmented tools on the folding beam leave more space.

Tool ﬂexibility is key to minimizing set up times and maximizing capabilities. Tooling must be material and thickness independent, high capacity, and with generous free space. A compromise on any of the above is a compromise on the machine itself.

Always tidy: Use our practical tool cart for blades, rails, and segmented tools as optional equipment..

nano Touch The most clearly laid-out alphanumeric control

Simple symbols and alphanumeric data describes the bending program.

nano Touch The nano Touch is a modern alphanumeric touch screen control. Self-explanatory and very easy to operate. Control of the machine axes is through a path measurement system, programming from flange to flange. A clearly laid out user interface with easy to understand icons with text and numeric displays eases the operator through his day of running jobs. Corrections for angle and flange length are entered per part or per bend for even more accuracy control. The nano Touch is proof positive that sometimes simpler is better. Schröder Maschinenbau is setting new control standards for companies needing the advantages of folding as a process, but does not need the sophistication of a high end control system.

Store up to 9,999 programs, each program up to 99 bends Icon based programming Part corrections per bend, or per program Bend list with current bend highlighted Piece counter Control mount on frame or swivel arm Options: Ofﬂine programming, POS 2000 Professional

And for those companies needing that extra level of sophistication, the PowerBend Universal can optionally be conﬁgured with the ﬁnest graphical control ever developed for precision metal folders.

POS 2000 Professional The graphical solution to your complex forming needs

POS 2000 Professional keeps the operator informed, from programming to the running part.

POS 2000 Professional For parts requiring graphical assistance to program and manipulate through the bending sequence, the POS 2000 Professional provides a visual interface for the operator and programmer. Through it, every step of the bending process is clearly shown. The graphics show the part as it is formed around the tooling and machine. The product is conﬁrmed in a virtual mode prior to putting the sheet on the back gauge table, so the operator can form the part with 100% conﬁdence. Part processing is as simple as following the on screen visual and written queues. From loading the sheet in the proper orientation, through each and every bend, the POS 2000 shows how to progress through each and every step of the part.
